The process of removing a deceased joint tenant from a Missouri deed is fairly simple.
When two or more property owners hold title as joint tenants with right of survivorship, and one co-owner dies, the surviving owners share the decedent's interest in the land by function of law, and outside of the probate process.
Even though the transfer of ownership rights is, in theory, automatic, it makes sense to formalize the change in title. One way to accomplish this is by completing and recording an affidavit of deceased joint tenant document, accompanied by official copies of the recorded deed showing the joint tenancy and the deceased owner's death certificate. His/her name will still appear on the deed, but the records will show that the property rights were transferred to the surviving owner.
To remove the decedent's name altogether, execute a new deed showing both joint tenants as grantors and only the survivor as a grantee. For example: "John Doe (deceased) and Richard Roe, as joint tenants with right of survivorship, convey to Richard Roe as sole owner." Present the new deed along with the affidavit of surviving joint tenant or submit it for recording on its own at a later date.
By following this procedure, the survivor helps to maintain a clear chain of title (ownership history), which will simplify future transactions relating to the property.

I'm 84 and not all that smart when it comes to what a Lawyer usually helps you with, but I took a chance to see if I could do this. Walla, I was able to do it. I was helping my son who had a stroke a few years ago and the transaction went well. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback Jacqueline. We appreciate you.

I had a great experience using Deeds.com to file my legal document. The whole process was simple and easy to follow. The website walks you through each step, and everything is explained clearly. At one point, I had to resubmit my documents, but even that was quick and easy. There were clear instructions, and I had no trouble making the changes and sending them again. The communication was great too. I was kept updated the whole time, and any questions I had were answered fast. If you need to file legal documents and want a stress-free way to do it, I definitely recommend Deeds.com. They made the whole process smooth from start to finish.
Thank you, Liliana! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad everything went smoothly and that our team could support you when needed. It means a lot to know you'd recommend us!

I recommend you add a box "Add another document or package." The way it is now confused me, so I uploaded the same document two more times, thinking the upload failed the first two times.
Thank you for your feedback Stephen.

Easy to use and instructions were very clear. If possible, it would be nice to be able to download the entire package at one time - it was a little cumbersome to download each item separately. (Of course, I didn't know which of the items I needed, so downloaded them all)
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
